Flow Revisions

Each time a flow is saved a separate revision of that flow is stored. An optional Comment field is available at the bottom of the flow workspace for information about changes to the flow. The Comment, date, and user name of the user who saved the flow are stored with each revision.

Using the Revisions dialog you can view a list of revisions for a flow along with the associated Comment, date, and user name of the user who saved the flow. Revisions are listed in descending order from most recent to oldest. From the menu for a revision you can revert the working copy of a flow to that revision or export the entire revision. Exported revisions can be imported just like any exported flow.

Considerations

To access the Revisions dialog:

  1. Open the app containing the flow with the revisions you want to view.
  2. From the menu for that flow select Revisions.
